She mumbled in confusion, "It's odd. The president said I could call anytif I was in trouble. Why isn't she picking up now?" Meanwhile, Ayla, struggling to get her composure, said, "Maybe she's just tied up with something right now. I'll give Warren a ring." Marissa didn't know who Warren was, but soon enough, Ayla was on the phone with him. After a tense exchange, Ayla's face turned pale with worry.

Let's hurry and go." With a smile, Marissa turned to the two kids. "Have you picked out your toys? I'll buy them for you."
